GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle. The machine has a plug that looks like sketch A in Figure 73.1. An adaptor, sketch B, should be used for connecting sketch-A plugs to two-prong receptacles, BUT WE DO NOT
RECOMMEND THIS. THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OR INJURY RESULTING FROM IMPROPER GROUNDING OR MISMATCHED ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES. The grounding tab which extends from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box as shown in sketch C using a metal screw.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the appliance. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the appliance. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges.
